Vamos Theatre presents Much Ado about Wenlock

By Caroline King - February 4, 2012Posted in : Theatre

Vamos Theatre presents Much Ado about Wenlock When: 29th February 2012 at 7.30pm

Where: The Edge Arts Centre, Much Wenlock, Shropshire TF13 6NB

£: Adults 10 and children 5

What is it?

With the approaching London Olympics 2012, Vamos Theatre is set to explore it’s unlikely UK roots from the small Shropshire town.  Much Ado about Wenlock will be a full mask production with original music, a combination of physicality, theatricality and dance choreography.

The play features characters drawn from the local Victorian community; the butcher’s wife will be practising her hammer throws with un-plucked pheasants; the postman using his letters and parcels to perfect his discus; the local school children, under the stern eye of the strict school mistress and her authoritarian hand, will do their very best!  Heart-warming humour and history.

More info: For tickets phone 01952 728911 or visit www.artsalive.co.uk for more details.
